C F C G Hadn't had a date in months and I was getting nervous C F C G So decided I would try the local dating service C F Paid their fee, filled out their form and things were going fine F C G C Until they saw what I'd put on the "favorite hobbies" line... I am a C G Feline, canine, vulpine, feathered, winged and taloned furry C Every time I'm at a con I draw crowds in a hurry My artwork is erotic F Though it isn't quite obscene C G C I'm having lots of fun with this, as odd as it might seem. C F C G This reply appeared to cause the sales rep consternation C F C G Back she came to ask me for some kind of explanation C F When I said she'd read it right it threw her for a loss F C G C She said she couldn't enter it, then brought me to her boss. "So you're the C G Feline, canine, vulpine, feathered, winged and taloned furry C At SF cons you specialize in mob scenes in a hurry This doesn't fit our data forms F Some changes must be made C G C You'll have to see my boss to deal with this one I'm afraid." C F C G So it went on up the line "Are you sure this is legal?" C F C G "Something like a Moose, or Elk, or F and O of Eagle?"

"Yes, I'm the C G Feline, canine, vulpine, feathered, winged and taloned furry C I'm sorry if this seems to set you all in such a flurry I've heard a lot about your club F I'm told it's simply great C G C But all I want to know is can you folks find me a date?" C F C G At the top, the president just smiled and said "Don't worry, C F C G I think we can solve this little problem in a hurry. C Bypass the computer; F And discuss it one on one.." F C G C We're at an SF con right now and, say, we're having fun 'Cause he's a C G Dragon, merman, centaur, griffin, unicornish high elf C Couldn't be a better match if I'd dreamed him up myself Together we're the strangest pair F That folks have ever seen C G C Come to the Furry Party room and you'll see what I mean!
